An outdoor homeless encampment sanctioned by the City of Tucson is set to serve as a temporary place to live for 20 - 25 people starting this fall.  Primavera Foundation and Old Pueblo Community Services are partnering to launch a one-year pilot ‘Safe Sleeping Space’ for unsheltered individuals know as STAR Village (Serving Together and Rebuilding).  The program, aimed at relieving people on the streets from immediate danger and instability while also reducing pressures felt in the surrounding area, hopes to invite the first occupants to the site by October 1.  Want to help?  For more information and to donate
